# Blow to logistics: ROZETKA loses main warehouse in Brovary on its 21st anniversary

The events of last night brought heavy losses to one of Ukraine's largest retailers. ROZETKA, which was supposed to celebrate its 21st anniversary, has lost its flagship facility — the largest distribution center in Brovary. The cause of the catastrophe was three direct hits from ballistic missiles.

This was reported by co-founder Irina Chechotkina on her Facebook page. According to her, the strike hit a complex that had become a symbol of the business's technological development. The warehouse opened in early 2017 and was the most automated at the time. It processed more than 100,000 orders daily. Chechotkina admitted that the facility is beyond repair.

### A burning life's work

The co-founder expressed her emotional reaction to the events in her post. She noted that instead of the traditional congratulations to partners and clients on the company's anniversary, she had to watch her 'life's work' burn. Despite the scale of destruction, the business does not stop. Chechotkina thanked everyone who continues to support the company and make purchases during this difficult time, emphasizing that a sense of unity is more important than ever.

### Scale of the night attack

The destruction of the ROZETKA warehouse was part of a massive wave of strikes on Kyiv and the Kyiv region on the night of August 5. Russian forces used ballistic missiles and drones. As a result of the attacks, fires broke out at warehouses, residential buildings, and non-residential areas in several districts of the capital. A dangerous ammonia leak was recorded in the Holosiivskyi district.

The situation in the region is critical. According to the State Emergency Service (SES), 14 people died in the Kyiv region, and about 30 others were injured. The fire spread not only to Brovary but also to the settlements of Velyka Dymivka, Kvitneve, and Pobeda. Strikes on logistics centers led to the suspension of train traffic by Ukrzaliznytsia.

### Consequences for infrastructure and people

Other key market players were also affected. Enemy cluster munitions hit the sorting center of 'Nova Poshta' in Kyiv. As a result of this incident, three people died and eight were injured.

In total, during the attack, which involved 28 missiles and 115 drones, 17 people died and 44 were injured. Due to the massive destruction of infrastructure and losses, Prime Minister Serhiy Kretskyy ordered the urgent convening of government meetings with business representatives to assess the damage and develop recovery plans.
